Prove that
E-MC²
C= velocity of light
Answers
E = mc2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity that expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. In the equation, the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body times the speed of light squared (c2) is equal to the kinetic energy (E) of that body

The first equation is:
Energy gained
= Force
x Distance through which force acts
The energy gained is labeled E. Since the body moves very close to c, the distance it moves in unit time is c or near enough.
The first equation is now
E = Force x c
The second equation is:
Momentum gained
= Force
x Time during which force acts
The unit time during which the force acts, the mass increases by an amount labeled m and the velocity stays constant at very close to c. Since momentum = mass x velocity, the momentum gained is m x c.
The second equation is now:
Force = m x c
Combining the two equations, we now have for energy gained E and mass gained m:
E = Force x c = (m x c) x c
Simplified, we have E = mc2
